Best sunscreen for your face

The first rays of spring sunshine are slowly returning! After months of limited winter sun, your skin is suddenly exposed to much more UV radiation. Especially during this transition from winter to spring, a good facial sunscreen is essential.

A good sunscreen for your face feels lightweight, leaves no white cast and protects against both UVB (sunburn) and UVA (skin ageing). Korean sunscreens are known for their comfortable textures and are often used daily as part of a skincare routine. Discover all options within facial sunscreen.

Spring tip: In many European countries, the UV index already increases from March onwards. Even if the sun doesn’t feel strong yet, UVA rays are present. That’s why dermatologists recommend wearing at least SPF 30 daily — or SPF 50 if your skin is sensitive or prone to pigmentation.
